The promotion works on any Android device that has the Amazon Appstore installed in the U.S. Also, Amazon Coins can only be used for redeeming apps or in-app purchases in the Amazon Appstore, and cannot be used for purchasing digital goods like Kindle books. If you're interested, head over to Amazon from the link below and get downloading.

LOVE THIS COMMENT!! ABSOLUTELY INGENIOUS! Lol. Exactly how I feel!! And BTW can you enlighten me on the other freebies?! This is my son's kindle I'm helping him out... his gaming gets pricy but he deserves it! Kelly's games up and she's hard!!!

I can't seem to figure out how to use the coins. I click buy app, then the screen dims a bit, stays like that for a bit, then loads the browser and shows me the EULA for the coins, never does let me "buy" it and install it. Tried Monument Valley and Out There.

Just so everyone knows, you can just go to the amazon app store website and purchase San Andreas with the coins you get for this and you will get the 2000 coins. I don't have a kindle fire and this worked for me and my roommate. The app won't work on my devices but I got 2000 coins for spending 699. Thats an additional 1301 coins. $23 in app purchasing ability for nothing!

Just a note for all of us amassing these free coins - the promotional coins do expire within one year of "purchase":

2.5 Expiration Dates; Application of Coins. Purchased Coins do not expire. Promotional Coins expire on the last day of the calendar month one year after we give them to you (for example, Promotional Coins we give you on May 15 will expire on May 31 of the following year).

If you do not own a kindle you can still get the 2000 free coins for buying San Andreas. Go to the Appstore on amazons website andt be sure to use your free coins from the 5 apps in this post. I got a total of 2262 coins and did not spend any real currency. I was charged 39 coins for tax for San Andreas though.

Thanks for the heads up, absolutely love these coin deals. I picked up a fire tv the other day and needed plex, which goes for $5 on its own. So I purchased GTA instead for $7 and got 20000 coins. Spent 500 on Plex and had 15000 left over. This is how shopping should be! lol

where do I see my points? After getting the 4 programs available here I figured it would be as easy as clicking on something cheaper than $8.00 and it would automatically deduct from points but it wants me to add credit.

On the website, if you're logged in, you should see a radio button option to pay with 1 click settings (using your credit card) and another for using Amazon coins. If you're buying from the Appstore app, the option is after you tell it you want to buy an app, but you may need to let the appstore sync before it sees all your coins.

I could not find any sign of them but did find a purchase amazon coins link. I clicked that to see if it would show my balance but said they are unavailable in my area. Maybe this is a non Canada thing.

If you've installed the Amazon Appstore on your device at any time, you can "purchase" apps from Amazon.com whether they're compatible with your device or not. "Buy" these five free apps, then "Buy" GTA:SA with some of your free coins (just click continue anyway when it tells you it's not compatible with your device), then "Celebrate" by spending your 2000+ free coin profit on whatever apps you want. AND if you ever get a kindle fire, you'll be able to download GTA:SA which you've already "Paid" for. #science

No thanks, I'd rather not have ~$10 worth of app purchasing power for free?

Strange rationalization.

I used to work in a bookstore. There was a discount card that generally cost $10 but would provide a 10% discount on all other purchases starting with the very same transaction where the card was purchased. It would boggle my mind that people would vehemently refuse to "purchase" the card, even when they were spending hundreds of dollars. Literally I would say, "Your total is $250. If you would like to purchase our discount card, your total will be $235, and all of your purchases for the next year will be 10% off." They would say, "I'm not going to BUY something just to get a discount. You should just GIVE me the discount since I'm spending so much." I would say, "I'm sorry that I can't, but the idea is that the discount card will encourage you to return to OUR store rather than another bookstore. Giving you a discount this one time will do nothing to encourage repeat sales. Also, I'd get fired for that."

THIS has even less liability. You click "Purchase this free app" and don't even have to install it, and you get $10 to spend on apps you actually want. The hope, of course, being that you will use that $10 and then buy MORE than $10 worth of apps since you're already buying apps. But the choice is yours.

Either you have no self-control (Free apps are the gateway apps to paid apps! I can't afford to spend all my money on apps!), you are far too paranoid to even be using the internet (Oh noes! They want my information! Wait, if I buy things from them they already have my info! OH GOD BURN THE COMPUTER!), or you can't math (FREE + FREE =/= FREE). Which is it?

In other news, through these giveaways with apps, I've amassed more than 3000 coins in the past 2 weeks, with zero of my actual dollars spent.

Dude, I think you've over-analyzed why most people, including myself, are passing on this one-time promo: $10 in virtual "coins" isn't worth the time and hassle for most people who make that much real money in under ~30 minutes. Also, Amazon's appstore sucks compared to Googles, and the apps are updated much less often. If I could, I'd instead pay $10 just to be able to move all the paid apps I've bought or gotten free on Amazon's store over to Google.

There's a lot of entirely valid reasons to turn down "free money", especially when you don't need or want to count to pennies.

My local bookstore does the same thing - tries to sign me up for some kind of discount program to save 10%. I'll grant you that it's probably a good deal. I resist mainly because I don't know how much time it will take to complete the process and, to a lesser extent, because I never really think I'm going to be coming back often enough to make it worthwhile. But I have been going back more frequently recently because of their board games and puzzles. So maybe I should.

That said, your sarcastic claim that free apps are a gateway drug to paid apps? Actually, that's kinda the point of this promotion. They give you some free apps, and then they give you credit to buy paid apps, and they hope you'll like those apps well enough to start buying paid apps thenceforth. It's a silly thing to be afraid of, but I think that's the idea - to normalize, in your mind, the spending of money on apps.
